It has been a month since I last hopped on the mic and spoke. This episode is a GM Intrusion into the flow of the season to do two things: First, I wanted to share and respond to a few call-in messages I’ve received through January and February.Second, I thought I would update you on a couple of areas in my own hobby and thought - we just played a second face-to-face session at The Dice Cup, the School Club has shifted to playing Dungeon Fantasy RPG too, and I’ve even taken part as a player in an

Roleplay Rescue ·

2024/01/20

I got back to running a game face-to-face. More than that, it looks like this newly formed group of gamers wants to meet again in February. I don’t want to jinx it, but I’m so entirely made up about this event that I thought I’d share a few quick thoughts as an episode.Thanks right up front to all the new players in that session who absolutely made my day - James, Phil, Isa, Onur, and Adam.

Augury Ignored

Roleplay Rescue ·

2023/12/23

I’ve sat on the conversation that you’re about to hear for far too long. Back in late September, I hopped online for a conversation with Augury Ignored - the voice behind the Augury Ignored blog. Thomas - for that is his actual name - reached out across Mastodon and we hopped online to chat. It was a first time conversation between gaming strangers but it was a hugely influential chat for me. Without this conversation, I don’t think Roleplay Rescue Season 13 would have started.Big thanks to Thomas

Seeking Face-to-Face

Roleplay Rescue ·

2023/12/09

The barriers to finding face-to-face community are many. But this was the very problem I began the whole podcast to resolve and, weirdly, find myself right back where I began.

This is pretty personal but I hope you'll find it useful nonetheless.Thank you to all the callers this week - to Infinity Devil for helping inspire the episode, and to Jamie, Jason and Jon.Nottingham Roleplaying Games (RPGs) Meetup Group:

This episode is being put together on Day One of my Apprenticeship as a GM. I’m sharing it partly so that I can externalise and understand where I am going - it helps to explain my rationale and direction.
